Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Nerdy accountant Harold and his irrepressible friend, Kumar, get stoned watching television and find themselves utterly bewitched by a commercial for White Castle. Convinced there must be one nearby, the two set out on a late-night odyssey that takes them deep into New Jersey. Somehow, the boys manage to run afoul of rednecks, cops and even a car-stealing Neil Patrick Harris before getting anywhere near their beloved sliders.
Critics Sentiment
Neil Patrick Harris on ecstasy steals their car
Harold and Kumar harassed by racist police officer
Sharp rise from the police encounter to the cheetah prison break sequence, where absurd comedy overtakes social commentary
Harold & Kumar builds steadily through escalating misadventures, peaking with Neil Patrick Harris's memorable cameo before dipping during heavier racial themes. The film recovers through increasingly absurd comedy and delivers a satisfying payoff with both the White Castle arrival and character growth.
